|INTRODUCTION: Plan and Schedule Development – | |Task Identification and Work Breakdown Structure | |The detailed guidelines and examples start on the following page | |What This Is | |First of a series of six templates for project plan and schedule development. This guideline lists the process steps for developing a work | |break down structure that identifies all the tasks in the project’s work, the first step in creating a detailed project plan and schedule. | |Several Work Breakdown Structure examples are provided to demonstrate the results. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |Content in this guideline was contributed by: | |ProjectConnections staff, IPSolutions - www.ipsassociates.com, and ICS Group www.icsgrp.com | | | |Why It’s Useful | |A key to successful project scheduling is to break down the project goals into tasks BEFORE you consider delivery dates, resource constraints,| |specific named resources, or task dependencies. This helps you to objectively identify all of the work necessary without subconsciously | |leaving out real work in order to fit date constraints. | |The WBS step helps accomplish the following key objectives: | |Develops an objective, rational view of the amount of work required | |Helps team grasp the skills required and amount of resources required for the project | |Provides a clear framework for assigning to individuals a clear task definition and delegate the responsibility for completion | |Lays a foundation for analyzing the task dependencies and for isolating and managing risks | |Lays a foundation for developing a bottom-up estimate for the project schedule | |Allows tradeoffs to be made consciously and with the proper consensus involved. | |How to Use It...

...erecting the slab inter alia. All of the activities will be defined so that the project objectives will be met as defined in the WBS (work breakdown structure).
Activities need to be the sequenced. Sequencing activities gives logic the project like what needs to be done one after the other in chronology and in logic. If the project is the rehabilitation of a road for example the Plumtree-Mutare highway by Group Five and ZINARA, pouring of bitumen and concrete...

...Topic 6: Mammalian Pheromones
Abstract
A pheromone is a chemical signal which is released by one
animal and received by another, which induce a species
specific reaction. Pheromones are detected via chemosensory
systems known as the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO). Within a
wide range of mammals the VNO is used to elicit a generalized
sexual response, primarily affecting the reproductive tract. This
is seen in most terrestrial mammals who have adapted to
sensing volatile chemical signals; the Mouse...

...social sciences and humanities. Many ethnomusicological works are created not necessarily by 'ethnomusicologists' proper, but instead by anthropologists examining music as an aspect of a culture. A well-known example of such work is Colin Turnbull's study of the Mbuti pygmies. Another example is Jaime de Angulo, a linguist who ended up learning much about the music of the Indians of Northern California [2]. Yet another is Anthony Seeger, professor at the University...

...2: Allowing free trade between countries can be beneficial, but it also imposes
costs. Use the ITT Tech Virtual Library to research the costs and benefits of allowing free
trade. Discuss aspects of free trade that some may consider unfair. For example:
a. Distribution of costs and benefits of free trade. In other words, does everyone
share in the gains and the costs equally?
b. Competing with different labor restrictions (or lack thereof), such as slave or child labor....
